Brillouin Microscopy for Biomedical Applications
Hosted By: Therapeutic Laser Applications Technical Group
01 August 2023 11:00 - 12:00
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC - 04:00)Brillouin microscopy is an emerging optical technique for quantifying the 3D mechanical properties of materials in a non-contact, non-perturbative, and label-free manner. Over the past 15 years, the feasibility and potential of this new technique in biomedical field have been extensively demonstrated, and Brillouin technology is rapidly recognized as a complementary tool to conventional methods for mechanical testing.
In this webinar hosted by the Therapeutic Laser Applications Technical Group, Jitao Zhang will discuss the innovation of the technology and the potential application in biomedical research such as cancer metastasis and embryo development.
